Walter is in charge.

While I am at work, he goes to the beach all day and plays with his dog friends. I hold a second job so he can have all the bully sticks and buffalo marrow bones his heart desires. I bought a larger bed so I could have extra room but he just sprawls out more and I don't do a thing about it. If he barks at me, I run straight to him, pet him, walk him, give him treats and do tricks to get him to calm down. I get him seasonal leash and collar sets so he can be stylish. I make donations in his name to help his endangered Alaskan cousins. I pick up his feces daily.

Who's got the upper hand here?
